Doyle:
Out of the House |
|

Unable to find another
interested 6 foot red bird, "Pokey" settles for the company of
two middle aged pirates. "Walk my plank, matey!"

Editor's Note: I've been asked to
remind you that Doyle's opinions are not those of
empytv or, in fact, those of any sane and reasonable human being. I'm so,
so sorry. -Jack
It’s cold outside. Not the
temperature, but the people. I have not left in as far back as I can
remember, but I wish I had never left at all. It is strange to see people
walk by with Mohawks, or hundreds of piercings in their face and get no
second glance. Yet, when someone asks if I am lost, and I do not reply, I
get looked at as if I am the only walking leper left on the face of the
planet. I guess a mute in a bear suit gets no respect.
It is time to talk
about things I have seen on the outside. I have a feeling my opinion
still counts. Lesbian’s and gays: Homosexuals. You are not born
homosexual. I want to say that I have nothing against anyone who chooses
to advance in a relationship with a member of the same sex. We are
America, the land of the free. I just think that Gays and lesbians are
quitters. I am sorry ladies, but if you go out to a bar, and no guy hits
on you, that is not excuse to give up. If no one answers your yahoo
classified ad because you did or did not show your picture, too bad. The
late Aliyah sang, "If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself
off and try again." For god sakes it took Rocky till the second
movie to win the championship

Dr.Shin
= stupid-head. |
|
|
I guess you proved me
right.
"So, taking
this laywoman’s opinion as gospel, I proceeded with a close
self-exam." --Dr. Shin. .
If the good doctor
has placed the standard of emotional maturity in the hands of
emoclear.com's Kendra, he's only proven even more inevitably that he
himself is an emotional fuck wit, right along with Edge and Doyle. I
visited the site after reading Dr. Shin's response to my article about
Miah's return (Again, welcome home, Miah!) and was pleased to find that
his maturity guru had much more to say about the maturely enhanced than
he was willing to share with all of us. First, I would like to point out
the crystal clear vision Shin has given us regarding his own obsession
with booze and drugs. He even uses his addictions as proof that he has
some "emotional maturity."

A while ago
“Betty” wrote an article in praise of that freakshow brainbox Miah.
In that letter she referred to several other emptyv employees (Doyle,
Edge, and… me) as “emotional delinquents”. Emotional delinquents?
Well, Doyle ain’t never left his damn house, so I’ll go with you on
that one. Edge is getting married-need I say more? But Me? My dear lady,
the doctor is anything but. And I’ll show you how.
In the grand
tradition, I did a little research as to “The
most outstanding signs of emotional maturity”.
According to “Kendra” on emoclear.com, they are as follows:
”…being able to accept, having empathy, being able to let go, and
being honest with yourself and others. Also being able to commit and
follow through and listen to others. Being able to love in an un-needy
way. Those are tell-tale signs.”
So, taking this laywoman’s opinion as gospel, I proceeded
with a close self-exam...

Miah's laboratory tests conclude
that "no name given" can't spell worth $h!t. |
Hello reader,
I am supposed to answer these questions as part of my therapy. By doing
this I will- hopefully- fall back into the pattern of my old life. Dr.
Shin sleeps in the bunk below me here at the emptyv offices. Every time I
wake up screaming he kicks my thin mattress with those damned cowboy
boots. My back is one large bruise. Pray for me. Here goes.
Dear Miah,
I am having alot of trouble in my "sex" life, when i was 3 i
had a hurnia and lost my left testical. My girlfreind says she loves the
fact i olny have one but when i walk down the sidewalk and anywere else
i can feel myself leaning to the right side "that is the side of my
one remaining testical" i was wondering if there is anything you
can suggest about this matter. Any help at all will be much appreciated
Sincerely, no name given
Hmmm. I don’t understand. You say
you have trouble with your sex life but then you say your girlfriend
loves the fact that you only have one testicle (note the spelling here,
my friend) It does not seem like there is a problem with your sex life
and, if there is, you failed to mention one. So, I will assume you mean
the leaning problem you have when you walk, “that is the side of {your}
one remaining testical.”
(In future letters, please avoid the
totally arbitrary use of quotations, please). Anyway, I can see a few
reasons you walk the way you do. 1) Your remaining testicle is such a
burden that you are forced to lean in its direction. In this case, I
would ask you to consider if you wish to have children in the future. If
not, removal may be the way to go. If you want to have children, perhaps
you should invest in some particularly supportive underpants. 2) You
understand the value of that one remaining “testical,” at least at a
sub-conscious level. It is the only chance you have to reproduce so you
walk in a protective manner, ready for any danger that may come your way.
So, be aware of your surroundings but there is no real reason to fear an
attack on your remaining testicle. Testicle loss from an rabid squirrel
is fairly uncommon. Hamsters, on the other hand…… |

Thank God! |

"A real jackass? Do
you really think so?" -an insecure Saddam after reading Betty's
article Sunday. |
All I can say is "THANK GOD!" The only
voice of reason and sensitivity
(and intelligence. . .goes without saying) has re-entered our lives at
emptyv.org. I was truly frightened that the only ideas to be conveyed
from now on on the site would be read in the special diatribes provided
by emotional delinquents Edge, Doyle, and
Dr. Shin.
Miah, I welcome you back with wide open arms. You are a man who can give
the hopelessly bitter heartbroken some small glimmer of something.
I have finally re-established a sense of general joy in our big, fucked
up world. I often find playing naive is my only hope for survival.
Recently, I've had to protect myself from depressing subjects by
interrupting bearers of bad news with questions like "Who is George
Bush?" and "Where is Iraq?" Or injecting comments into conversation like
"Everyone in France is so stylish!" or "Suddam Hussein was a real jack
ass in 'Bigger, Longer, and Un-cut,' The South Park Movie." I refuse to
use my spare time doing anything other than finding characters in the
clouds and/or day dreaming about The Smartest Man Alive.
I'm sure my "No War Against Iraq" sign is really getting the message
across anyway.

Ed. note:
after a period of blissful ignorance, the World's Smartest Man was
exposed to painful shock therapy treatment, under advice of our editor
Dan. The next day, in a period between his debilitating shivering, amid
constant drooling, he began to recall the painful incident that brought
him here. This is part one of that story. -J.
I remember…
I once claimed to be
the “Smartest Man Alive.” I could not have been more wrong. Any
person who dares climb a mountain in the company of a violent drunk and a
guide who suffered from both auditory and visual hallucinations, cannot
claim even a modicum of intelligence.
At first, I was
thankful for the snowstorm for the
heated argument between Dr. Shin and our guide on the numbing
capabilities of various forms of alcohol was mostly lost in the howl of
the wind... (cont.) |

World's Smartest Man
Found Alive! |
Miah: unable to taste
lemon.
|
The
World's Smartest Man, assumed eaten by a beast whilst documenting a
peaceful mountain hike, was found alive this Wednesday in a HAGERSTOWN, MD
suburb.
Miah cannot recall anything about the incident on the mountain, but he has three large
gashes behind his right ear and is no longer able to taste lemon.
He was found behind the counter of one of Funkstown's small antique
shops. Miah's job at the shop consisted of appraising antiques
that were brought in by curious customers.
Recognized by one of our very own readers by his oversized head, Miah was acting strange and
confused, unable to remember his name. He was quickly admitted to St.
Joseph's Hospital and diagnosed with an acute
amnesia. He will be brought home soon to begin his slow recovery, for to Miah life has turned into a challenge. Your
support and kind words would be of tremendous help to the egg-headed man.
Drop him a line at

I don't want to achieve immortality
through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying. - Woody
Allen
This just in: A recent University
study shows that up to 96 percent of currently living Americans will
suffer from what scientists are calling the death syndrome within the
next 100 to 150 years.
"It's everywhere and someone you
may know might already be carrying it." says Dr. Richard Ridley of
the Wisconsin school of medicine, adding "there are some who say it
comes for us all, but I'm optimistic about our current research"
This condition apparently runs in
families, with instances going back generations. If you are unsure
whether or not you are dead ask yourself whether you have difficulty
performing such physically demanding tasks as breathing, blinking, or
logging on to emptyv.org. If this is the case, you may want to consult a
qualified physician for immediate care. |

Name
this Rabbit! |

Emptyv.org
has a new mascot/logo. He is a dumpy little rabbit who smokes and gets
pissed off. But before he can delight children around the world, he needs
a name. And, as Emptyv's first ever contest, we want you to name him. You
will win a prize if your name is chosen! So send the rabbit name, your
name, and an e-mail address to us here.
Stay tuned for the ongoing saga of
"Where is the World's Smartest Man?" |

Nothin' can kill me, bitch |

miah is still missing |
Bruised and bloodied and thirsting for
booze, Dr. Shin has returned. I'll be damned if I know where Miah is. I
lost his bulbous headed ass on the mountain in the middle of a snowstorm,
carrying with me the last of the provisions. But you'll all be glad to
know that we reached the summit and officially "kicked God's ass". Then,
standing there with our dementia ridden guide, we had heard a horrendous
howl of some unknown creature deep in the woods and began to haul ass
down the mountain side. I quickly smeared a raw piece of meat on Miah and
we were separated. I was picked up by a rescue helicopter two days later
and was taken to the nearest bar for a steak and a whiskey sour or 7.

In any case, I'm bunking here at the
temp. offices of emptyv, in a hammock over the rabbit cages. The only
thing worse than the smell of rabbit shit is the fact that the wretched
beasts seem to be raping each other nonstop. God bless America! |
